It is with great sadness that the committee and members of East Anglian Whippet Country Club announce the death of our good friend Polly Bore. Polly has been very sick for some time and has not managed to join us on the field for about one year. Polly was the owner of Banatay Bonanza, arguably the best coursing dog of his generattion and a Puppy Cup given in his honour was last competed for at our Henham Hall meeting last year. Polly, in fact attended that meeting and presented the rosettes. It was anticipated that Polly would be at Henham the weekend after next to officiate once again but sadly that cannot be. I had coursed with Polly for several years I think we first met at our Gillingham meeting when Clive Searson brought her along as a guest. Following that initial occasion, I doubt Polly missed many meetings. We will all miss her and I am sure that those of you from outside our club will join with us in expressing our sincere condolences to Polly's family at this sad time.

Thankyou

Chris Doyle

I have been asked to put some pictures on of Polly in happier times. They show images from last year at Henham Hall and Somerleyton Hall when Polly did the presentations. There are also a couple of Ed (Banatay Bonanza) also

Thank you very much for your kind comments about Mum , Whips really were her world, i know the friends she met through the whippet club and coursing meetings meant alot to her. Her funeral will be held at Gorelston Crematorium, 2pm, Thursday 17th April- all welcome. Mum wanted her life to be celebrated and wished for a colourful funeral- please wear something bright! Family flowers only please, but donations to JR Whippet rescue would be gratefully recieved.

Kind regards,

Melissa and Katy
